RADIO, north of Texas and bounded by
the Indian Territory on the east and
New Mexico on the west, is body of
land containing 5,761 square miles,
known as "No Mans Land" "the pub

condition it would be difficult to divine.
The land is sad to be as fertile as the

nouncei superb, and the products have
a wide range, including everything
from corn to cotton. This "No Mans

numerous, beautiful, and clear. Towns

following are named: Beaver, Ben
ton, Alpine, Clear Lake, Rothwell,
Boyd, Gra2d Valley, Fulton Springs,
Neutral City, Eagle City, Hardesty,

than 10000 farms of 16O each. It has
larger area than either Rhode Island,
Delaware, or Connecticut ut-has' more
farming land, and car support larger
population than the States named all
combined. A movement is on foot to
open the neutral strip" to settlement.

cooked in the Indian fashion-perhaps
old plainsmen may certify to it. The
method was to dig hole in the ground
and build good wood fire in it; over

the side of beef-the ribs-hung in
good roasting distance A scout moved
it about over the fire for three quarters
of an hour until it was thoroughly

Buffalo Bill on the interesting occasion
when the rib roast was first introduced
was as follows: Grub stake, salmon;
ribs OF beef, Indian style, roast beef,
roast mutton, ham, tongue; stewed
chicken, lobster salad; American hom-
inr and milk; corn, potatoes; cocoanut
pie, apple pie, Wild West pudding;
American popcorn, peanuts. If Bill

ing ears, his feast would have fingered
